HMS Belfast

No other vessel in Britain today has witnessed as much history, seen as much action and explored as much of the world as HMS Belfast. She is a ship of stories – her own and those of the men who served on board her. Stories of courage, resilience, camaraderie and pride. Stories brought to life by the uniquely physical thrill of exploring her nine action‐packed decks.

A first-hand look at wartime life at sea

Managed by the Imperial War Museum, a visit to HMS Belfast is a fascinating look at the lives of the nearly 1,000 men who served on board during the Second World War and up to 1963.

Experience battle stations and everyday life

The ship’s nine decks contain a wealth of history and tales of combat for visitors to explore, from day to day chores such as food preparation in the ship’s galley, to the intensity of battle when the ship opened fire in support of Allied troops on D-Day.

Hear real life stories from the ship’s sailors

The popular Life at Sea exhibition is produced using testimony from sailors who actually served on the ship, with first-hand experience of the challenges of life on board.

Enjoy spectacular views of the London skyline

As well as the countless photo opportunities on board (remember to take a seat in the Captain’s chair!) on the outdoor decks you enjoy fabulous riverside views of London and its many landmarks, including the skyscrapers of the City, the Shard, and the glorious Tower Bridge.

Due to the layout of the ship, access to all decks will involve climbing up steep stairways and ladders, and is therefore not suitable for wheelchair users.

Wheelchair users can access the main deck of the ship, which includes areas such as the laundry, the chapel, the bakery, the galley and the Quarterdeck, with fantastic views of London.

Wheelchairs are available to borrow at the venue if required
